Black Caucus huddles as talk of term limits heats up (Pelosi's white privilege)
The Hill via MSN ^ | 12/10/18 | Mike Lillis, Scott Wong

Leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) huddled Monday night in the Capitol as the push for term limits for committee chairmanships and leadership spots heats up among House Democrats.

A number of senior CBC members are in line to take committee gavels next Congress and the group has quickly rallied against the notion that gavels would be term-limited just as they're about to ascend to those chairmanship seats.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who's seeking another stint as House Speaker, has been in talks with members of a small group of anti-Pelosi insurgents about adopting a cap on the number of years an individual lawmaker could retain a committee gavel or leadership post.

Those proposals could both assuage clamor among younger members for more influence within the caucus and help Pelosi pick off some opponents threatening to block her path to the Speaker's gavel.

"And generally for African Americans, the frustrating thing is every time we get to the point where we're making significant progress, the rules change,"

And that's why head RATS don't want you making the rules. Once you make the rules, that's when Pelosi gets kicked to the back of the bus. Or under it. Until then, it's very entertaining to watch big RATS squirm.

Openly racist organization in the halls of government.

But the Pinkos who run the so-called “news” media are perfectly okay with it.

We always knew that conferring “protected status” on segregated groups would result in the more powerful groups consuming the party whole.

By being the ^first^ protected (segregated) class, blacks are pressing their seniority-of-class on the other protected groups (seen as political newbies) to be declared policy dominators.

This doesn’t affect us in any way. Take no side and pop the popcorn. But some RINO will probably offer to mediate in order to “reach across the aisle.”

Sure. They want to put a Maxine Waters-quality person as chair of every committee.

Just wait until the BC realizes that the illegals will be in the front of the line for everything seeing as these illegals will be the new voter base for life.

Congressmen for term limitations? That’s something I haven’t heard before.

That will require a Constitutional Amendment -- and some other stuff with it, plus there should be several others as well, such as specifically empowering feds and state gov'ts to impose capital punishment, and prohibiting separate health plans for gov't employees and elected officials.

Millions would. Raffling off the firing squad positions would also work for many.
